Indeterminate variety that ripens in 90 days from transplant. Created by tomato breeder Russ Crowe. “The first segregate from my cross of Xanadu Picasso x RHK GWR Heart will be released this fall. From here forward the “Prime” segregate a few people have been testing for me will be known as: Rebel Starfighter – Prime. This plant should be heart shaped with deep red/maroon flesh. It should have Antho Shoulders with Antho and various other colors stripes from stem to blossom end. Flavor should be deep and rich with long lasting “umami”. Truly one of those once in a life time crosses”.
Rebel Starfighter VT16: Quoted from breeder, Russ Crowe :
“This ugly little duckling sure has come a long way over the last couple years. This was one of the stand out segregates from my the cross of Xanadu Picasso x RHK GWR Heart.
The fresh crisp flavors in a GWR fruit are hard to ignore and these were consistently some of the best every year I grew it out. This is one I held back, keeping it close the the vest, but loving it more and more every year. I think this year, based on looks and flavors, it has surpassed RS-Prime for me. I just love the Antho shoulders and stripes. The large hearts. The variegated stripes … it is just amazing and as of this writing, the only GWR Heart with stripes and antho available.
